The Jabberwocky

         "Drop it," shrieked the carrot parrot

         to the shadow circling the room.

         "Whatever you tote you cannot

         take, enjoy, or consume."

         

         "Too late," a small voice burped then drawled

         as it thump-thumped into the light.

         A banana iguana crawled

         in sneakers, sparkly and bright.

         

         "Please do excuse my intrusion.

         Your heart and wings seem aflutter.

         Have I startled, ruffled your feathers?"

         "No," the bird did splutter.

         

         "Who are you?" came out as a squawk.

         This sentry despised night creeping.

         "I direct your gaze to the clock.

         The household is sleeping."

         

         "Well, I'm awake and here you are.

         Don't night owls need company?

         I believe my friend gallops close,

         Macaroni Pony."

         

         "Oh my, excuse my confusion.

         The clip-clops are hooves that is true,

         but the staccato strikes so slow.

         Flannel camel, it's you!"

         

         "Drop it," shrieked the carrot parrot

         to the shadow circling the room.

         "Whatever you tote you cannot

         take, enjoy, or consume."
